The idea was for the pro-Palestinian play was first conceptualized in 2010. Co-directors Taghrid Choucair-Vizoso and Julian Maynard Smith then crafted the performance following the 2014 war between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas. The war was a result of the capture and murder of three Israeli boys. (RELATED: Erdogan Claims Hamas Is Not A Terrorist Organization)

“It was really important for us not to send over a play script or design a performance, finished and polished. Because that’s very presumptuous, it’s slightly colonialist. We wanted to work collaboratively,” Choucair-Vizoso said. (RELATED: When The Palestinians Blamed Israel For Violence At The UN, Nikki Haley’s Response Stuns The Room)
